Immigration has dramatically gone down in the past few years.

I think the real problem people are having is that a large amount of those immigrants are now no longer from the EU. But you have Brexit to blame for that.

If people prefer unskilled EU immigration to skilled non-EU immigration its says something about them.

People had a problem with EU immigration before Brexit so I do not think that is it.

I think most of the problem people have is with is to illegal immigration. The sentiment is "stop the boats". There are bizarre things happening in the asylum system. Do we need to consider claims made by people from the EU or the US? https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/06/18/eu-citizens-hand... That is an extreme but there are lots of claims by people from safe countries.

Small boat arrivals and asylum applications are down and deportations are up: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c70989jrdweo

Hard to complain here with the current trajectory.

		I know, but the people complaining about immigration do not. I partly blame the media and social media, and partly politicians focus on net migration numbers.
